The lone remaining event on the NFL calendar prior to the 2012 NFL draft is the release of the 2012 schedule.

It was rumored to be this week. There was even a false leak, but it appears we'll have to wait until next Tuesday, April 17th, to see when teams play each other.

We already know all the opponents, but the fashion in which they are ordered could make all the difference for a legitimate playoff run.

Rumors indicate that next Tuesday seems likeliest, considering the draft is two weeks away and, as ProFootballTalk points out, TVGuide.com already shows an ESPN "SportsCenter Special" for 7 p.m. EST on the 17th.

ESPN denies they have any inside information and considers that to only be an estimate.

However, we know the schedule will be released before the draft and all signs point to a release next Tuesday.

In the meantime, you can get a look at every team's opponents right here.

Biggest Out-of-Division Matchup: Giants at 49ers

These two teams played two of the toughest games of the season last year. A return trip to Candlestick is not something the Giants are thrilled about, but fans cannot help but get excited about the potential return of one of the NFL's greatest rivalries.

It would be easy to go with the Packers vs. Saints, 49ers or Giants, but the 2011 Wild Card teams are very likely going to be in direct competition for a postseason berth yet again. A win here could go a long way for the Lions or Falcons.

Biggest Out-of-Division Matchup: 49ers at Packers

This is a relatively weak division, so the Niners get free rein. They've already earned a "biggest matchup" with the Giants returning, but a trip to Lambeau will certainly hold a lot of water too.

All in all, San Fran has a tough slate that includes visits from the Giants, Bears and Lions and trips to Lambeau, the Superdome, Foxboro and the swamps of Jersey to play the Jets.

You can catch me talking football and throwing seven different kinds of smoke over on Twitter.
